JESUS DIAZ

Caramelo
(Bombo Music)

"With CARAMELO…he’s released a debut album of all original material that is surely the freshest thing happening in Bay Area Latin music."

Editor's Pick:

What a fine recording this unexpected gem turned out to be! Percussionist and vocalist Jesus Diaz has produced a beautiful debut done with class and sabor. Highly recommended.

Bruce Polin, DESCARGA.com, September 26, 1999

"Well known for his smoking percussion contributions to many bands and recordings, Díaz has arrived with "Su QBA". This welcome recording introduces us to Diaz’ vocal and composition skills. From traditional Afro-Cuban religious music, classic son montuno to the pulsing sounds of timba, Diaz takes us on a "sweet" and memorable musical exploration. Each tune finds a groove to sit into or get up and dance to! …Indulge your musical sweet tooth and get CARAMELO today!
